Much like Community Supported Agriculture programs, in which shareholders invest in a local farm and receive shares of fruits and vegetables, CSArt Madison asks shareholders to invest directly in the arts community with a buy local mentality. Participating artists—selected by the ALL Curatorial Board through an open call process—receive a stipend to create small-scale artwork “shares” for the program. Interested collectors or “shareholders” purchase a share, and in return, receive one piece of locally-produced art from each of the ten featured artists.

CSArt Madison is organized by the Arts + Literature Laboratory Curatorial Board. The project is supported in part by funds from the Madison Arts Commission and Dane Arts, with additional funds from the Endres Mfg. Company Foundation, The Evjue Foundation, Inc., charitable arm of The Capital Times, W. Jerome Frautschi Foundation, and Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation.

Arts + Literature Laboratory (ALL) is a community art space for visual, literary and performing artists to share their work and create new connections.
